MIni Miracles

So... A new transfer and the same companion! :) Sister Mole and I are still together. She goes home in October so just 2 more transfers! I think Ill be the one to kill her (that just means im her last companion!). We are gonna have lots of fun this transfer!
This last week was a lot of fun and we saw some miracles as we were able to teach some people who have in the past not wanted to listen!  We thought that Sister Mole was going to be transferred so she was showing me some homes of less actives in a particular subdivision. for some reason after she showed me, I just walked right up to the gate and rung the door bell. Normally I would say lets try here but for some reason I didn't even think about it! I just did it! And guess what! They let us in. We had a great chat and found out that she hasn't been to church for 10 years because there are "a lot of problems and unanswered prayers". But she asked us to pray for her and her family because they are experiencing some strain in their family! I am really excited to go back to this family! I know Heavenly Father has some great experiences waiting for them!
We also extended a baptism date to a man and his mom who have been involved with the church for almost 10 years and just haven't been baptized. Well the mans sister is coming to stay with them from Washington for 2 months and she is fully active. I think she is going to be a really big strength for them! But while we were there they invited their friend, and they said that they should all just get baptized together! yay!! Its one of the greatest things to see people embrace the gospel! They even said "Hi" and stopped to talk when were walking down the street!
Sometimes being a missionary can be frustrating and disappointing when you don't see the immediate results... However at the end of the sat it isn't the big things that make the difference it is all the little things. And that's not just in missionary work, but in life as well. So when the big things you are doing don't seem to work, break it down and see what you need to do right now, and than, as time goes by watch for the miracles!
So here I am waiting for the big miracles and I watch the little one days by day!
I hope all is going well on that side of the world! Know I love you and miss you all much! Stay safe and get closer to Heavenly Father!
